# Setting Up Email Response Scheduled Job

## Overview

An **Email Response Job** is a [Scheduled Job](/v9/docs/understanding-scheduled-jobs) that handles Email responses to **Assigned****Forms**([**Assignments**](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/about-assignments)). These are especially useful in instances that involve the use of Assigned Forms as a means of data collection/Survey taking as they can be set to run in reaction to an Email inbox's activity. The following document demonstrates how to configure Email Workflow Response Jobs for use in an [**Email****Response****Handling**](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/handling-email-response-replies)****process.
